Delegates from academia, government laboratories and industry are invited to attend the 2018 conference on Combustion in Extreme Conditions hosted and organized by the Clean Combustion Research Center (CCRC) at KAUST.

SCOPE

The conference will be organized around three topical areas:

High-pressure, high-Reynolds number combustion: identifying problem configurations to provide new insight in fundamental aspects of combustion at extreme conditions.

High-fidelity and high-performance computation: development and validation of new models and simulation capabilities through comparison with experimental datasets.

It will bring together leading experts from academia, national laboratories, and industry to promote international collaborations in establishing the research and development direction for diverse new ideas towards clean and efficient combustion systems.

OBJECTIVES

Discuss the latest and most notable research achievements in the area of combustion at extreme parametric conditions relevant to modern combustion systems.

Review the lessons from successful academic and industrial research programs, and identify challenges and opportunities for future research efforts.

Foster future collaboration and interaction among CCRC research personnel and the global research community.

TECHNICAL PROGRAM

The conference will feature twenty invited presentations by renowned experts in academia and industry and a poster session. More than one hundred attendees are anticipated, including faculty and researchers from leading institutions worldwide, industrial participants, students, and postdocs.
